A forestry official said budget cuts are forcing the department to "maintain those elephants that are useful and introduce birth control amongst the whole population," the BBC reported. There are three to four births annually among the department's elephants, the official said.
Veterinarians would administer birth control injections and pills to about a dozen female elephants used by the forest department.
Wildlife conservation groups are angered by the proposed birth control. Instead of preventing reproduction, they said, baby elephants should be released to the wild, or alternative funding sought, the BBC said.
